Partnership Linkage Tool for the Addressing Neglected Areas of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Sub-Saharan Africa (ANeSA) Initiative

To achieve the goals and objectives of the ANeSA, a seven-year $29.9M initiative funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC), strong connections and collaborations must be made across research fields, disciplines, and sectors, as well as between existing and emerging research teams. One of the ways IDRC, CIHR and GAC are supporting the development of such connections is through this linkage tool.

The Initiative's overall aim is to support greater realization of neglected sexual and reproductive health and rights by under-served populations, including women and girls in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This partnership linkage tool is intended to help expand research networks in Neglected Areas of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and to encourage meaningful partnerships throughout the proposal development and beyond by facilitating connections between researchers, trainees, community and health organizations, policy-makers, knowledge users, people with lived/living experience, and other individuals and organizations in Canada and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Violences basées sur le genre (VBG) : Les violences sexuelles et les abus liés au contexte sécuritaire et humanitaire restent une urgence sous-estimée. Les survivantes font face à une stigmatisation forte et un accès limité aux soins médicaux et psychosociaux. Santé maternelle et infantile : Le taux de mortalité maternelle demeure alarmant. Les complications liées aux grossesses et aux accouchements, souvent faute de structures adéquates dans les zones isolées, sont aggravées par le manque de planification familiale. Vulnérabilité des adolescents et jeunes : Les jeunes (particulièrement les filles) sont marginalisés. L'éducation sexuelle complète et l'accès aux contraceptifs sont entravés par des normes sociales néfastes et la stigmatisation de la sexualité adolescente, ce qui accroît les risques de grossesses précoces et non désirées. VIH/Sida et Infections Sexuellement Transmissibles (IST) : L'impact des crises accroît la vulnérabilité des femmes et des filles face aux IST et au VIH, un défi exacerbé par l'insécurité et les déplacements de populations. Populations marginalisées : Les personnes handicapées et les groupes minoritaires souffrent d'un manque criant de services de SDSR inclusifs et adaptés à leurs besoins spécifiques. Pour cela, pour faire face à ces défis, Le présent projet est initié en vue de répondre au problème d'urgence des violences basées sur le genre (VBG), de l'accès limité aux soins, de VIH/Sida et Infections Sexuellement Transmissibles auprès de 5000 femmes vulnérables dans les milieux ruraux du pays Ce faisant, nos interventions permettront. D'améliorer des infrastructures, formation du personnel soignant, et distribution de contraceptifs et de kits d'hygiène menstruelle. Cela inclut les soins maternels, le dépistage des IST/VIH, et la prise en charge des violences basées sur le genre. Par ailleurs, ce projet permettra également d'appuyer, de renforcer les capacités de 3000 femmes rural vulnérables dans les domaines de l'entreprenariat rural Objectifs du projet de recherche : Est d'Améliorer l'état de santé sexuelle et reproductive des populations et contribuer à la pleine jouissance des droits humains, de l'égalité de genre et de l'autonomisation des femmes, en particulier pour les femmes, les adolescents et les groupes marginalisés de 5000 femme dans les milieux ruraux du pays	Améliorer l'accès et la qualité des services de santé sexuelle et reproductive (planification familiale, soins maternels, prévention des IST/VIH, etc.).
